ENEMY OF INTELLIGENCE
Things are hotting up.
This week has seen several jounalists calling me to see if I would ‘allow’ or even ‘encourage’ the burning of holy books such as the Bible and the Koran.
I explained that people could burn what ever texts they wanted on The Hot Chestnut Man’s brazier, and that I am not really interested in what they choose to burn or not as long as it helps get the chestnuts nice and hot and tasty.
I was asked, I suppose taking a similar line to that Dave Beech originally did, if The Hot Chestnut Man was anti-culture, anti-debate, even anti-intelligence.
Well he can be all these, the opposite and more.
Here’s a video with one response but it’s not of course definitive, just one truth that some have already found.
What’s your take on the whole thing?
I’m going to ask my dad.
As Paul Conneally prepares for his The Hot Chestnut Man piece outside the Royal College of Art Battle of Ideas he is accused of being Anti-Intelligence, Anti Left Wing, Anti Religion, Marxist, Fascist
